Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Tortilla and Toppings
- 1 taco-sized tortilla
- Avocado (amount as desired for spreading)
- Fresh chives (for garnish)
Seasoning and Cooking
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for frying and toasting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Feta Base: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the crumbled feta cheese and arrange it into a circle leaving a hole in the center for the egg. The cheese will start to melt and bubble forming a crispy texture.
- Cook the Egg: When the feta begins to bubble, carefully crack the egg into the center of the feta ring. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the egg whites are fully set and the yolk remains runny, ensuring the feta base becomes crisp around the edges.
- Warm the Tortilla: While the egg is cooking, heat another pan over medium-high heat and add cooking spray or oil. Place the tortilla in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Alternatively, warm the tortilla over a gas flame or in the microwave if preferred.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the avocado evenly over the warm tortilla. Gently place the crispy fried feta egg on top. Season with salt and black pepper, then garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy your crispy feta fried eggs on avocado-spread tortilla immediately for a delicious breakfast or brunch experience packed with textures and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the feta cheese from sticking and make flipping easier.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your yolk preference; longer for firmer yolks.
- You can substitute the tortilla with gluten-free options if desired.
- If you prefer less salt, reduce added salt as feta cheese is naturally salty.
- For extra crispiness, let the feta cook undisturbed to form a firm crust before adding the egg.
- Fresh chives add subtle onion flavor, but you can also use parsley or green onions as an alternative garnish.
